My key has the usual problems, the two buttons fell out and the contact bits on the circuit board in the remote portion are missing, so when I bought new keys,...and put the remote into one,.......it doesnt work. It only works if I bridge the two contact points on the circuit board with something like a tiny screwdriver.......apparently the circuit board originally had a small contact strip that the key buttons pushed on to bridge the contact points.

Can anyone reccomend an aftermarket remote at a reasonable price? I've been using my key in the door for several months and am concerned that I might break that pot metal link between the lock cylinder and the door lock actuator switch (I have a steel replacement link, but haven't had time to replace it ).

You can attempt to repair your current remote, there are kits like this that have replacement switches: Land Rover Discovery Genuine OEM Factory Key Keyless Remote CWE100710KIT

Might be cheaper on ebay.
